There are few things better than a perfectly cooked slab of juicy steak or a burger.

Red meat is packed with protein, which is critical for muscle growth and recovery. It’s also high in iron and vitamin B-12, which boosts the immune system and keeps red blood cells healthy. Now that we know that dietary cholesterol has no impact whatsoever on blood cholesterol - avoiding fattier meat is no longer required. So here’s a handy list of superstar steaks that you don’t have to feel guilty for indulging in once the craving hits.



Sirloin tip side steak

Taken from the sirloin tip or the top of the round. Very lean, but still holds flavor.

Calories 206; Fat 5.4g; Saturated Fat 2.06g; Protein 39g


Top round steak

Cut from the hip (part of the round) and considered flavorful and more tender than other cuts from the round.

Calories 240; Fat 7.6g; Saturated Fat 3g; Protein 36.9g


Eye of round steak

Similar to the cuts taken from the tenderloin, but tougher and less juicy.

Calories 276; Fat 7g; Saturated Fat 2.4g; Protein 49.8g


Bottom round steak

Taken from the outer park of the round that is a well exercised area of the animal. The meat tends to be tough and typically needs marinating.

Calories 300; Fat 11g; Saturated Fat 3.8; Protein 47.2g


Top sirloin

Has good flavor, but can be tough, so typically needs marinating.

Calories 316; Fat 10.6g; Saturated Fat 4g; Protein 51.6g


Flap steak

Very flavorful, but can be fibrous and chewy

Calories 240; Fat 12g; Saturated Fat 3.8g; Protein 33g


Filet mignon (Chateaubriand or tenderloin)

The most tender and sought-after of all cuts of beef.

Calories 348; Fat 16g; Saturated Fat 6g; Protein 48g


Porterhouse steak

Very expensive and flavorful. Cut from the choice tenderloin.

Calories 346; Fat 16.4g; Saturated Fat 6.6g; Protein 46.2g


Skirt steak

Also known as a flank steak. Taken from the plate or chest of the cow, it’s known for its flavor over tenderness.

Calories 348; Fat 17.2g; Saturated Fat 6.6g; Protein 45.4g


New York strip steak

Very tough cut of meat taken from the T-bone area.

Calories 360; Fat 18g; Saturated Fat 6g; Protein 46g


T-bone steak

A cut from below the porterhouse. Its high fat content means that it stays tender while cooking.

Calories 376; Fat 25.6g; Saturated Fat 10.6g; Protein 33g


Rib-eye steak (rib roast, prime rib)

The crème de la crème of steaks. Very marbled cut, which means it’s flavorful and stays tender while cooking.

Calories 466; Fat 37.6g; Saturated Fat 15g; Protein 30g

live CakhiaTV mình cũng thấy bạn bè nhắc hoài nên ghé thử cho biết, kiểu vào xem giao diện có dễ dùng không thôi. Vừa mở lên là thấy trang làm khá thoáng, nhìn không bị ngộp chữ hay nhồi nhét quá nhiều thứ một lúc. Mình để ý cái menu đặt chỗ dễ thấy nên bấm qua lại mấy mục cũng nhanh, không phải mò lâu. Nội dung thì chia thành từng khối riêng, nhìn lướt một cái là biết phần nào ra phần đó, đỡ rối mắt. Nói chung cảm giác dùng khá nhẹ nhàng, nhất là cách họ chia block thông tin rõ ràng và bố cục nhìn rất gọn.

JW88 mình vào thử cho biết giao diện ra sao thôi, không có soi kỹ từng mục. Ấn tượng đầu là trang load khá nhanh, bấm qua lại mượt nên lướt một lúc cũng không thấy khó chịu. Cách họ chia nội dung theo từng khối nhìn gọn gàng, mở lên là định vị được mình đang ở phần nào chứ không bị rối. Mình cũng thấy có nhắc 18+ và kiểu chơi có trách nhiệm, đọc lướt thôi nhưng cảm giác làm vậy cũng ổn, đỡ “mập mờ”. Font với khoảng cách chữ vừa mắt, nhìn lâu không bị mỏi. Nói chung mình chỉ cần một trang dễ dùng, không phải mò menu quá nhiều, và thanh điều hướng…

tk999.in.net was mentioned in a couple posts, so I opened it on my phone just to see if it was a headache to navigate. Honestly it’s pretty straightforward — the pages don’t feel cluttered, and the headings make it easy to skim without getting lost. I also noticed they actually talk about having multiple access links and even throw in a specific uptime number (99.8%) with “more than five” backup links, which is the kind of detail you don’t always see spelled out. I didn’t spend time playing anything, but as far as browsing goes it loaded smoothly and didn’t make me dig around for basic info. The way the content is split into short blocks under clear section titles…

tk999.in.net showed up in my feed, so I opened it just to see if it was a pain to navigate or not. I wasn’t really there to play, more like a quick “is this site readable on a phone?” check. Honestly it’s laid out pretty nicely — you can skim it without getting hit with a giant text dump. One thing I noticed is they actually mention having multiple access links and even say they keep more than five backup links with 99.8% uptime, which is oddly specific but kind of reassuring to see written out. The headings are straightforward and the content is split into short blocks, so it’s easy to jump around without losing your place. The page…

Tacobet me dio buena espina desde el primer vistazo, porque no se siente como esas páginas que te marean con párrafos eternos. Entré con la típica desconfianza y terminé leyendo más de lo que pensaba, sobre todo cuando explican lo de revisar la licencia y que la autoridad reguladora debería verse en el pie de página; ese tipo de detalle te aterriza rápido. También me gustó que no se van por lo genérico en pagos y mencionan SPEI y OXXO Pay, que es justo lo que uno espera ver si de verdad están pensando en México. Y se agradece que no lo escondan: la parte en español aparece marcada como “en construcción” y te lo dicen tal cual en el…
